results but may not be the best is the drafting the proposals and know how to get our proposal through the process. some neighborhoods are getting the short end of the stick and i do feel that equity means not looking at blanket zip codes but looking at the pockets of poverty that exists. district 1 if you look at 94118 it has poverty and rich folks. some are living in the units crammed behind garages. sometimes, the affluent part of the zip code might hide the poverty in the district.

i see that 6, 5 and a 1 are the ones that decrease. district 6 for example, the poorest people live in the tenderloin and market area but it's heighten by the more affluent people who have moved to the parts of the city. so i think we should look at the different pockets. there are tremendous needs 90 in district one. but hopefully, we're having a conversation about that >> supervisor breed. >> i'll just say we can have a more detailed look at the information but in the interest of public comment i don't time to go down the road and repeat

what's been said. thanks >> okay. thank you colleagues and ms. sue. we'll continue this into next week. so at this time we're going to open it up for pickup comment. there's a lot of people here and again, i would ask we give preferences to elderly and disabled as well as children but if the first people will start lining up against the wall. come up to the microphone but if you want to point in the direction of lynn people up against the wall let's get the show started.

again, if anyone is disabilities or has small children let one of the sheriff's know and we'll make every endeavor to get you up. okay come onyouth.

i hold a belief that most people

want to feel valuable in our society. we want to benefit from the life-sustaining support we offer. i'd like to turn the microphone over to the committee. we are here for all. i want to commend all. this is for all the items we've called today so, please came forward >> go ahead. >> my name is ryan and i'm a client at the larkin street youth services.

walk between union square and market street replacing is by benches does not meet the standards. secondly, the subway will be 80 feet above market street subjecting it to earthquake and no litigation has been presented. i recall horrifically to the thousands that died in berlin. put that in your memory. it is important that we subject the analysis

>> their - i wanted to speak

about homeless seniors. we've been working in the tenderloin six months trying to get some beds designated for seniors. i think we were almost there and everything seems to have blogged down. i think it would be helpful if the board of supervisors would inspect some funds for. i find that i have worked with ken and others. and they would have seniors at curry who come in 12 a month of they're new clients are likely to be homeless. they can come from anywhere in the city just because you're not

in that neighborhood become desperate for a place to stay. they need - you don't put them too far away from the bathroom or on the top bunk and you try to help them you don't throw them out at 6 o'clock in the morning. those are things that francisco be done within the framework. but the funds that designate that might be helpful >> once the have is a chance to commit please leave the chambers. if you want to stay in city hall we have overflow rooms to wit
